Quotes of Note

You're born a male but you have to CHOOSE to be a man" - Herm Edwards

"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that" - Unknown

"They err who think Santa Clause comes down through the chimney; he really enters through the heart." - Mrs. Paul M. Ell

"Thankfully, our true roots are in heritage and not things. I just need to keep reminding myself that things are only reminders of heritage." - Keetha Broyles, June 21, 2010

"Tears lubricate the soul." - from "Finding Buck McHenry"

"Somehow you must come to understand that God is love, that love is the proof of God, and forgiveness is the proof of love." - The Priest in "Levi's Will" by W. Dale Cramer

"The truth about a man is in what he does, not what he says." - W. Dale Cramer in "Levi's Will"

"Fairy Tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten." - G. K. Chesterton

It Really Happened - - -

.
And I am NOT even kidding!!!

Today I was eating lunch in a rather public place (the IWU food center if you must know) and a lady greeted me as if she knew me. I didn't have a CLUE who she was, and that must have shown on my face. She stopped, smiled, and said, "I read your blog sometimes."

Yes blog world - - - there you have it - - - I'm becoming blogamous.

Hehehehehehehehehe

I can't find my blog said...: So funny! What did you say as a comeback? That would be weird-especially for me since there is only one kinda-picture of me on the blog.

Kinda cool though!; October 12, 2008 at 3:24 PM
Keetha Broyles said...: I was just nonplussed!!! I mean, she had that look in her face that she knew me, and I knew her not at all.

I did manage to thank her for visiting my blog.

And she did tell me she enjoys it.; October 12, 2008 at 4:02 PM
Char said...: This is always my worry. I know many people by face now that I wouldn't know otherwise. I envision myself walking up to someone like Zippy the Fish and saying, "Wow, I really loved those desert photos" and having him call the cops on me.; October 12, 2008 at 4:09 PM
Anonymous said...: Wow!
I probably would have flipped out!
But also I would have been pretty flattered too.
Congrats Keetha Hilton, haha!

Thanks for the comment(s)haha on the pic of my lil country girl. Yeah she had just taken off one boot and was walkin down the hallway when I called her name, she turned and there was the pic.; October 12, 2008 at 6:14 PM
Keetha Broyles said...: LOL Char!!! Now that would be funny, maybe not so much for you though.

Spoiled Mommy - - - it was kinda exciting, but I WAS right here in my own town.; October 12, 2008 at 6:30 PM
Anonymous said...: Haha...your last comment came through twice too.
But yes, I will delete all the extras.; October 12, 2008 at 7:06 PM
Leigh of Tales from Bloggeritaville said...: Well aint that somethin'! She needs to comment so we can welcome her....; October 12, 2008 at 8:12 PM
FOOTBALL MAN said...: Keetha you have some interesting blogs, it will probably happen again.; October 12, 2008 at 8:53 PM
Keetha Broyles said...: Thanks all!!!; October 13, 2008 at 3:31 AM
grammy said...: Wait, wait, don't tell me, let me guess....the first thing you said to "new reader of your blog" was "oh, I wish you would have made a comment". Am I right or wrong???

I remember when Jeany & I were visiting in IN (eating at the Mexican restaurant) and some people came up to our table and told you how much they enjoyed your blog and she looked at me and said..."you must be Grammy and you must be Aunt Jeany"!!!; October 13, 2008 at 8:43 AM
Keetha Broyles said...: You missed this time, Grammy - - - - I was too SHOCKED at being recognized that I never even thought to MENTION comments.; October 13, 2008 at 10:30 AM
Lone Butterfly said...: Yay! Did she ask for your autograph? You should have offered her one... ;); October 13, 2008 at 4:10 PM
Keetha Broyles said...: Oh Lone, if ONLY I were that creative right on the spot.

Nope - - - I just stood there with my mouth gaping open!!!; October 13, 2008 at 4:11 PM
groovyoldlady said...: I get quite shocked at times by the FRIENDS I have who read blog but never comment or let me know they're lurking until suddenly, at church, they make some random comment about something I said and I'm all confused and lost and, occasionally, embarrased. :)

Thus far, it hasn't hapened with strangers though!; October 14, 2008 at 7:11 AM
Keetha Broyles said...: I know - - - and if those "lurkers" only knew how HAPPY they would make us if only they were leave some footprints of their visit!!!!!

Comments PLEASE!!!; October 14, 2008 at 4:15 PM
Martin LaBar said...: Well, it's better than being bigamous.; October 16, 2008 at 7:14 AM
Keetha Broyles said...: Hehehehehehehehehe - - - you and your sense of humor!!!!; October 16, 2008 at 3:44 PM
